    ME 'defrag' works with 98 ... 4x 'better'

    I was busy 'stealing' a boot disk when I noticed this on boot disk.com

    Updated defrag from WinMe works fine in Win95/98 and is 4 times faster
    Not had chance to 'test' it yet ... so feedback would be nice !

    Yep, it works, and it's probably better, although to be really sure how much I guess you'd have to do comparisons using each on a drive restored from an image. I certainly haven't tried that.

    standard procedure here at work is to swap the 98 defrag for the winme defrag on all 98 machines before they enter the work (station) force.

    I haven't done any stop watch benchmarks, but it certainly appears faster.

    I put it on every 98 and 95 I come across. I finit has reduced the time on some machines as much as 20-25 minutes. Too bad there is nothing like this for W2k.

    I don't suppose any of you have a downloadable version I could attain!?! Thing is I haven't seen a ME PC in a long time, and don't know when I will see another. I would like to test this out!

    sure I'll pull it from the work network drive and post it to webspace. just give me a minute. . . I'll have to log out and log back into the network as a user that has access to that share.

    It's that I am so used to disregarding everything you post, I never noticed that you had a link up there. Silly old man!

    Thumbs up

    I just downloaded it from confus-ed's link and it works great! Definitely faster.

    I think I will use it on all of my Win9X machines.

    Many Thanks!
